Thanks! Should work great in Istanbul as well.

Will try it out in Istanbul.

Yes it does! Thanks so much for posting this solution here. I was pretty disappointed when the old functionality was broken so this is very nice to have something that works again. I’ve updated the article above with this code and some new screenshots.

This works on Helsinki:

//Show the loading dialog immediately as the form loads
var loadingDialog = new GlideDialogWindow("dialog_loading", true);
loadingDialog.setPreference('table', 'loading');
loadingDialog.setTitle('Loading...'); //Set the loading dialog title here...
loadingDialog.render();
                  
//Wait until the form has finished loading
addLateLoadEvent(function(){
    loadingDialog.destroy();
});

This issue has to do with the fact that ‘showLoadingDialog’ isn’t available to call right when the form loads due to some changes ServiceNow has made in Fuji. The only way I know of to attempt to work around the issue is to delay the display of the loading dialog. I don’t know if it works 100% of the time, but you can see an example of that type of script at the bottom of the comments section here.

Hello,

This does not seem to work in FUJI. Is there any other way to make it work? Thanks!

It may be a timing issue. You can try using a ‘setTimeout’ call to make sure ‘showLoadingDialog’ is available to call. Something like this in your UI macro maybe.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
   <g:evaluate var="jvar_show_dialog" expression="!RP.isPopup()" />
   <j:if test="${jvar_show_dialog}" >
      <script>
         //Show the loading dialog immediately as the form loads
         setTimeout(function(){ showLoadingDialog(); }, 500);
         //Wait until the form has finished loading
         addLateLoadEvent(function(){
            hideLoadingDialog();
         });
      </script>
   </j:if>
</j:jelly>
